The Correlation Between Hepatitis B Virus Precore/Core Mutations and the Progression of Severe Liver Disease
Viral mutations acquired during the course of chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection are known to be associated with the progression and severity of HBV-related liver disease. This study of HBV-infected Saudi Arabian patients aimed to identify amino acid substitutions within the precore/core (pre...
